Air decends at the poles and rises at the equuator. The basic part of the weather machine.
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
Yes, an ocean current moving from the equator toward a pole is typically warm. These currents carry warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, impacting the temperature and climate of the areas they flow through.
Continental Polar
Cold currents typically originate in high latitude belts near the poles, such as the polar regions or around the 60° latitude lines. These currents flow from these colder regions towards the equator, influencing the temperature and climate of coastal areas along their path.
Cold currents generally flow towards the equator. (a.k.a. south).
Heating by the sun near the equator makes the water there warm. In the polar regions, the water is cold. Cold water weighs more than warm and as a result, the warm waters of the equator drift toward the poles. The cold wear from the poles then flows toward the equator to replace the warm water that is leaving.
Polar Easterlies
Warm currents generally flow toward the poles from the equator. This creates a transfer of warm water from the equator to higher latitudes, helping to moderate temperatures in these regions.
Global winds and currents near the equator flow east to west. The global wind belt located north and south of the equator is called trade winds.
The winds are called Westerlies.
The winds are called Westerlies.
Cold winds typically originate from regions with lower temperatures such as polar regions or areas where cold air masses form and move towards areas of higher pressure, resulting in the flow of cold air. These winds can bring cooler temperatures and may be influenced by factors such as the Earth's rotation, pressure gradients, and terrain features.

Warm currents are warm whereas cold currents are cold. Warm currents flow from the equatorial regions towards the polar regions whereas cold currents flow from the polar regions to the equatorial regions. By- Avyukt Sharma
